    Here’s a BMW 4 Series drag race you didn’t realise you needed… Until today!
    We’ve got Ben Collins lining up in a new BMW M4, and he’s facing off against Mat in an old BMW 430d?!
    Seems like a foregone conclusion, right?! Well trust us - this is no regular 4 Series! It may still have a 3-litre straight six under the bonnet, but it’s had several thousand pounds spent on it and as a result, it now produces an eye-watering 462hp and 1017Nm of torque!!
    As for the M4, well that’s stock, so it arrives with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can put down 510hp and 650Nm.
    They’re both RWD, and the 430d is around 200kg lighter than the M4. But surely a diesel can’t beat an all-new M4, right?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

      Not good, watch officially gassed video on the diesel vs m4. In a diesel the actual power out down is a lot less due to the gearing. It’s better compared to the f82 m4 at 430-450 bhp.

    • @b17blg
      @b17blg ปีที่แล้ว +46

      I think the difficulty here is that during the drag race they use multiple angles and sometimes go back a few seconds in the drag race to show different perspectives of the race.
      Maybe they could do their normal edit and then leave in a single shot 1 cut of the drag race with speed overlays and other data.

    I had the 430d 2016 plate for 3 years from new. Amazing car, and surprisingly family friendly with the hatchback boot. Excellent steering, tremendous torque. It's best suited as a GT for long cruises. And of course... it looks stunning in the lowered 430d guise. Xdrive versions are 3-4cm higher and look jacked up and less sporty, so either stick with the 430d for the 6 cylinder or get the xdrive and get some after market springs.

      I mean, that should be the reverse, no? In the E92 gen, the M is slower than the 335i after it gets a 100$ tune, but the M stays the same unless it gets forced induction, after market SC is like 10k..on the other hand the gen after the E92, they're all turbo'd six cylinders, the M and the 340 and 335.So the difference between them is literally just "the lesser version is less powerfu stock, but you can gain good gains, the better version is the same but more powerful stock and can have even better gains, the best is etc. And so on.
      There's really no reason to get a x30-x35-x40 instead of the M after the e92 gen if you have the money, whereas the difference between E92 gen trims is a fun but slow NA V8 (M) or the straight line king twin turbo I6 (335i n54) that can easily be faster than the V8 M3. They're basically two cars for two completely different audiences, as for the new bmws, it's basically just better trim=better car, simple as that, no huge difference just better in all categories, more power, more potential, better undercarriage.

      @@brucerobertson5450 I still like to see this IRL instead of just speculation. On a quarter mile run I think the 435d would take the start and the M4 would struggle to win. The point here is that the only thing the M4 has over the 435d is performance. On all other aspects (practicallity, fuel economy, Xdrive, towing etc.) the 435d is the better choice and if you can have close to M4 performance with an easy stage 1 tune that makes the M4 less relevant since it also costs about twice as much.

      @brucerobertson5450 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dlmunlimited I agree the 35d takes the start, purely down to the 4wd, it MAY take the win in adverse conditions but otherwise the m4 will blitz past. As for the comment about the m4 only having performance, sorry but I couldn’t disagree more. The m4 isn’t JUST about straight line performance, it handles so much better, feels more of an occasion to drive and looks much better. The fuel economy between the 2 is also not as large as you might think. My 3 year average with the 435d was 34mpg, currently I am at 27mpg with the M4. Practicality depends on if you have gone for the grand coupe (which I had), however not a huge amount in it. My kids get in and out the m4 just as easily. A coupe 35d is no more practical than a m4 (it’s the same body after all). The 435d was a great car, but a mapped one is no m4. I used to think something similar before I got the m4, now I know different. I doubt anyone driving an m4 is sitting there thinking “oh how I wish I had a 435d”.
      The issue with these types of video is that it’s a snapshot in time, so many factors come into play to allow one car to beat another, who has the better tyres, who’s the better driver, who got the better launch, how hot/cold is it, raining /not raining etc.

      @@brucerobertson5450 Don´t get me wrong. I am not saying the M4 is only about straight line performance, but it is a much more extreme car that just does not work in real life as the 435d will. I have never seen a GC M4 and I would guess that you still have the normal trunk and not the fastback like the GT. Your fuel economy seems way off, I have a 3 year average of 44mpg with lots of sport mode. I would certainly miss the 435d at the fuel pump if I had an average of 27 mpg, or when towing or in snow (or both at the same time) or when paying for the insurance...The M4 is a funnier car for sure, but let´s not pretend the M4 has anything on the 435d when it comes to practiality in daily use.

      @@dlmunlimited with all due respect I have owned both, and there is very little the 435d does from a practicality point of view that the m4 does not.
      I use mine in ‘real life’ and its been faultless. Is the hatch on the gc better, yes but the boot on the coupe / m4 is hardly unusable. The mpg was tracked via an app using fill and miles and is accurate for my usage.
      Towing I’ll have to concede but mainly because I haven’t towed with either.
      Snow, the m4 on appropriate winter tyres is just fine to use, and my previous 435d on winter tyres was also just fine to use so I don’t really see your argument there, you could argue that 4wd on winters is better than rwd on winters and again I’ll concede.
      Insurance, the cost delta between them for me is £100 so again nothing show stopping.
      As I’ve said, the 435d was a fantastic car that I owned for 3 years, mapped at stage 1 was even better but it does not compete with an M4. That’s not putting the 35d down in any way. Too many ppl assume that a mapped ‘x’ becomes ‘Better’ or ‘faster’ that of a higher model, however it’s far from the case (i was guilty of thinking this too). I encourage you to go drive an M4, you may be pleasantly surprised.
